Ingredients:

  • 4 (6-ounce) Atlantic cod fillets, skinless (approx. 170g each)
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced (approx. 1 medium lemon)
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced (approx. 1 medium pepper)
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced (approx. ½ medium onion)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (approx. 2 cloves)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (approx. 30 ml, or 1 tbsp dried)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (approx. 15 ml, or ½ tbsp dried)
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano (approx. 2.5 ml)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: A knob of butter (about 1 tbsp) per fillet

Instructions:

  1. Cut four large sheets of foil.
  2. Divide the sliced bell pepper, onion, and half of the garlic evenly among the centers of the foil sheets.
  3. Place a cod fillet on top of the vegetables in each foil packet. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano, and the remaining garlic.
  4. Drizzle each fillet with olive oil. Top with fresh parsley and dill. Add lemon slices on top of the fish. Add a knob of butter if desired.
  5. Bring the long sides of the foil together and fold over to create a sealed edge. Fold the short sides in to completely enclose the fish and vegetables. Ensure packets are tightly sealed to trap steam.
  6. Preheat grill to medium heat (around 375°F/190°C). Place foil packets on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Or, Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until fish is cooked through.
  7. Carefully open one packet and check if the fish flakes easily. If not, reseal and cook for a few more minutes.
  8. Carefully open the foil packets and serve the fish and vegetables immediately. Be careful of escaping steam!
